That would be too bad. Many people appreciate Ed25519 because, unlike
ECDSA, it does not rely on government algorithms. I assume this would
be important for some geminauts. May be instead to insist on people so
that they use proper TLS libraries? Ed25519 is not so recent and has
free software code available.
